My husband and I were looking to have a micro-wedding and I have to admit I know nothing about decorations so I felt overwhelmed. We quoted different services in Banff and Canmore and everything was so expensive. We realized most of the services were more targeted to bigger weddings but then we found Locke Weddings.
They understood what we needed and were always so responsive and helpful. Few months ago, prior our wedding , Jessica Ottenbreit was assigned as our coordinator and working with her was easy. Everything worked out perfectly and she wore so many hats during our weeding (decorating, DJ, telling people where to go etc.) We were so happy to have her as our coordinator! Thank you Kelsey and Jessica for helping us with our intimate wedding!

The entire team at Locke was incredible, they were always ready to help with any questions we had in the lead up to our wedding. They were amazing in guiding us through the timeline and thinking of all the little details we would have easily missed!
Christine, our day-of coordinator, was nothing short of fantastic. Each time we met before the wedding, I left feeling like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. She took our vision and brought it to life, ensuring every aspect of our day ran smoothly. The way she handled everything behind the scenes allowed us to truly enjoy our day without any stress. We’re so grateful for how effortlessly she managed everything and took the pressure off us.
I would absolutely recommend Locke Wedding for any day of coordination needs! -

We used Locke Wedding Co for day of services and had a great experience with Leanne and her assistant.
Leanne was very familiar with our venue (The Malcolm Hotel) and able to troubleshoot some things we hadn't anticipated. She created beautiful displays of our wedding favours and set up the ceremony/reception exactly as we pictured it (but better)! She also did an amazing job using our extra flowers around the space and cake. She was very professional - Would highly recommend! -

Usually it's brides on here who do the reviewing but I, the groom, an amazon item review enthusiast, a committed reddit lurker; needed to come give this glowing review on how Kelsey, was the best person, vendor, and I'd like to say friend now, that we could have chosen for our wedding in Banff. We hired her as our day of coordinator but she exceeded our expectations more than we ever would have imagined by far.
We are a couple from NYC that has never been to Alberta, but Banff was one of our bucket list destinations. We decided to plan this wedding through the travel ban, during the pandemic, all via the interwebs, sight unseen, and hope for the best. I was definitely against the idea of hiring a day of coordinator at first. I was all about the DIY. We weren't having a traditional ceremony or reception anyway. We could do it. Boy was I wrong. Really quickly I saw that I was a bit in over my head. We needed someone to bounce ideas off of. We interviewed a few coordinators but we really connected with Kelsey.
Kelsey helped guide us through the whole process. She gave us ideas on where our budget could be better utilized, helped us find our way through the area via google maps and gave us the ultimate tourist free first look spot. She helped us do research on things that we had questions about and was our boots on the ground. It was unreal what she did to help us get our trip off the ground and our day planned out. We connected with Kelsey via Zoom quite a bit prior to the wedding, and she made us feel so prepared, we were in such a good headspace heading into our trip.
What type of fairytale story would this be if nothing went awry? Our day fell right into the few weeks where travel was absurd in North America. Travel was horrendous out of NY for all of our guests, direct flights cancelled turning into layovers all over the continent. My brother in law had 2 flights cancel on him after spending 2 days sitting at the airport. A bridesmaid had to spent a night in Montreal after her second leg was canceled. Our photographer and DJ coming from NY did not arrive until less than 24 hours prior to the wedding. Let me tell you, the anxiety was thick; like the episode of Full House where Uncle Jesse goes skydiving and ends up in jail on his wedding day. Gotta love Full House. But on our special day, Kelsey was organized, incredibly detailed oriented, so nice and helpful to all of our guests and wedding party, and took care of all the big AND little bits and details that my wife and I had the most worry free experience to truly enjoy every part of our special day.
Before the wedding, many of my married guy friends tell me about what they learned from their experiences of their special day. How I'll have constant anxiety until the end, I'll be hungry I'll get because I won't get to eat a bite of the food, I won't really get to enjoy or see any of the things we set up/paid for because we'll be so frazzled and busy, I'll just get herded around to keep up with the timeline, how it ends in a blink of an eye.
Well, I can be that one guy that really enjoyed our wedding day, anxiety free, never rushed, ate every appetizer, main course and dessert that was served, got every picture we wanted, never felt like sheep, had an amazing time with every guest who attended, and the party ended with no one including us, wishing there was more time.
Kelsey, you were an integral part of this and we thank you! -

Truthfully, I could not imagine our day without Christine. It's hard to put into words how grateful I am because she facilitated the laid back and relaxed day my husband and I were always after. Without her, I imagine it would have been chaos, but with her, everything just FLOWED. I didn't have to worry about decor or organizing people or communicating with vendors, I truly just got to enjoy the day with my friends and family and my nearest and dearest got to do the same. I didn't want my friends/family running around on the day, I wanted them near me and enjoying it as much as we got to - and that's exactly what happened. When I walked into the reception space post-ceremony (and saw the ceremony grounds) I was brought to tears - Christine brought all my dreams to fruition and executed it better than I could have ever hoped for. She also tore down everything so that the next morning, we just had to grab our boxes and go - it was a DREAM. We are forever thankful to her and Locke Wedding Co. and would recommend a coordinator to ANYONE - it makes for the best day ever.

I wasn't originally going to hire a day-of coordinator for our wedding and DIY the entire thing, but halfway through planning I realized I was in over my head. I reached out to Locke Wedding Co. and was paired with Stacy for our wedding at The Commons in Calgary. I cannot recommend her enough! Stacy went above and beyond to answer all my questions (and there were many), make sure things ran smoothly and bring my vision to life in a way that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. I was blown away when we walked into the venue for both the ceremony and reception. She was incredibly professional, paid attention to all the little details, and helped make our wedding day everything we hoped for. I cannot thank Stacy and Kelsey at Locke Wedding Co. enough, and I highly recommend them.
